Deck Garage Hey Bmoor!
Okay, F.F., this one looks pretty straightforward. Cho-Manno/Pariah deck has difficulty beating burn, Dragons, Merfolks, and Clerics. Let's see what I can do.
First of all, you mention your vulnerability to burn decks. I see True Believer in your deck, and i presume that he's your means of stopping burn. Trouble is, he doesn't help much. If your opponent has a fistful of burn spells he wants to throw at you, he's just going to use one of them to kill the Believer and throw the rest at you. At best, he soaks up 2 or 3 damage. I'd say replace him with something. Knight of Meadowgrain is a good way to gain back some points you lost earlier and pad your life total. Knight of teh Holy Nimbus can charge through burn spells, or just make one of them cost two more. And Soltari Priest is outright immune to burn, and nearly unblockable (though that will give Red Mage more motivation to just kill you now while he still can). And then there's Opal Guardian, which turns into a 3/4 pro:red flyer for you. Any one of these could prove better in that slot, and would carry a Warhammer more proudly as well. Remember, if you equip Knight of Meadowgrain with a Warhammer, she has two instances of lifelink and you gain double the life.
Next, let's find a replacement for Pollen Lullaby. One-turn fog effects are overrated, and even though the tap effect is nice, it only works on the player you clash with. Although I am glad you've got clash cards in a deck with Akroma and Purity, I'd say Judge Unworthy fills that purpose just fine on its own.
What can go in for the Lullaby? Well, probably a creature, since right now you've only got ten. That's probably why you're losing to all these tribal decks: they get an army of creatures out, and you don't. That's probably also why you complain about your win condition: there's nothing wrong with your creatures, there just aren't enough of them.
I did just list off a bunch of creatures that you could make use out of, so pick one of those to replace the Believer, and then add your second choice in over Pollen Lullaby. If you find yourself needing to stall against aggro decks, then also consider Angelic Wall. That'll hold 'em off for a while. Though I still think that "double lifelink" thing makes Meadowgrain one of the best picks. With that much life gain, you should have no trouble racing.
That ought to cover this deck, F.F. You're onto a hot idea here, you just need to support it a bit better.
Good luck!
